@trinsec such a great game! I started with the board game but the digital adaptation is so good I didn’t get the cards to the table since forever. I play it less often now, but I played it nonstop for months.
@petergam considering how big tech are steering away from openness and third party options… isn’t it a bit risky to build a project on one of these platforms, as it’s clear they can pull the plug to API and external access any time? Not criticizing, I honestly have no clue what support Google intends to keep for this.
@drdrang I never thought of that and it’s so useful for anyone dealing with csv! Thank you so much!
Today
* Reddit ends free API access.
* Twitter turns off anonymous reading.
* Youtube is talking about banning ad-blocking users.
The tech industry was living on cheep money and low interest rates, and now they're all afraid to let their precious content get used for AI training.
The walls are going up, the lawful corporate web is collapsing in on itself.
@drdrang the concept some people spitting words to the internet have about “failing” is quite interesting. I too find this failing platform a wonderful place.
At the rural school district I last worked at, we had 1500 students, of whom 1,000 were free lunch and 500 were not. The cost of personnel (an entire department!), computers, and software for vetting students to make sure those 500 didn't get free lunch cost more than the cost of simply feeding them, already.
The GOP jihad about preventing those 500 from getting free lunch is not about taxes or expense, it's about being mean to children. #gop #antichild #school #lunch #meanness
Damnit! These signs keep ruining my weekend plans!

Welcome, Stitcher users!
I started Overcast ten years ago in large part because I was afraid of Stitcher taking over the market with its proprietary walled garden (which was even more walled at the time, and was gaining significant traction).
I wanted to ensure that the open world of podcasting survived and thrived, even when faced with strong proprietary threats.
The names and players have changed since then, and the battle continues, but open podcasting remains dominant and healthy today.

As part of a wave of layoffs, I got laid off from my backend development job last month as the company's financials I was working with have been steadily decreasing. I applied for another job shortly after, and after a month of interviews and an honestly great response from their team, at the last minute, they told me that they were focusing their hiring efforts away from the US and towards Singapore. With Calckey donations, I don't have enough money to pay for rent or groceries. So I'm asking to #GetFediHired, I'm the lead developer on the Calckey project, and I'm a fullstack, multi-language developer. I have 3+ years of enterprise experience, and I work great on teams as well as solo. Resume and references available upon request.
@agiletortoise I read that they removed all API access except for Blue subscribers. Not sure if it’s true, but I’ve seen dozens of people reporting losing access to the API as of today.
I found an excuse to write about Tears of the Kingdom on @macstories 😄
If you're playing the game and taking notes, you have to try the TotK Travel Guide app by @jeffreykuiken. Great UI inspired by Apple Maps with a built-in note-taking system for locations in the game. Syncs with iCloud, has a single $4 In-App Purchase, and it supports the 3 different maps of the game. I love this.
